Brane nucleation instabilities in non-AdS/non-CFT

Abstract We speculate that the weak gravity conjecture applied to theories with holographic duals bans the existence of disordered phases at zero temperature. We test this idea by introducing a non-zero baryon chemical potential in a deformation of the SU(N c ) × SU(N c ) Klebanov-Witten gauge theor...
